Haha. Presumably you have a big collection then? How do you store it?

I got two of the RF Wimbledon Henleys and 2 Dimitrov Wimbledon Nike polos because white always get ruined

I have one of each of the marquee shirts on hangers. (All grand slams of Federer, Nadal, Hewitt). Some of my shoes on shoe racks. Luckily I have a room dedicated to it with it's own walk-in closet. And the rest in sturdy 80 litre plastic containers, in total 10 of them.

I usually check the shirts each 6-12 months and rewash any that aren't perfect. Usually in a big laundry tub of washing treaters and baking soda. Always does the trick.

I just signed up for Instagram and posted a video showing the storage room and walk-in closet.

How rare are the 2009 USO Vapor VIs? Black with red accents and red RF on the heel? I just bought a pair brand new.

I still kick myself for not buying one. Awesome shirt.

I have a lightly worn pair too. Feel like bricks compared to current Vapors.

I have this 06 IW shirt - not in the greatest shape - swoosh has worn off - still pretty nice.

It gets better... This is an Agassi outfit from 1994 which he gave to me at an exhibition match. I've never seen it anywhere - I can't even find a photo of it online.

The yellow detail on the back is actually made out of partially see-through mesh. (I have the shorts but they're just plain green)

When I was in high school and shortly thereafter I used to collect the Federer and Nadal bandanas.

Probably the rarest one that I have left is the teal bandana that was featured at Indian Wells in 2013.

It was an exclusive release for that tournament.

Another item that I recently came across was the Nike Challenger Crew that was featured on Aliassime, Rublev, Tiafoe, Sinner, and Fritz at this year's US Open (and also the French).

It was only available for about 3-4 weeks in the US.

I have it featured near the end of this video:

I bought a bunch of wristbands from 2007-2009, some are samples for pro athletes. Cant find the tournaments yet when these were used because google cant find anything with those product codes, probably too old haha :unsure::D

I'm in the same boat. I have them grouped using the year next to the copyright. But then some of the years don't match up to the actual seasons I found online.

Might have posted this a while back, but anyway I have Murray's WTF Fred Perry shirt from 2009. Personal exclusive with patches et al (never released to public). Last tournament he played in before switching to Adidas. Picture soon.

Is there a possibility to check if a nike bandana is custom (federer) made? For example a washing label in it, or a color that wasnt released to the public? I know the polos, shorts and shoes are easy to check however bandanas... dont know :p
 
PE zoom zeros. Plus a pair of Zoom Cage 4’s that were intended for Andy Murray. Was when he was trialling new shoes And I picked up a pair for peanuts! Stamped sample, non retail colourway and an incredible shoe.

This particular model wasn't sold, but there was a similar 100% polyester variant available (black, white, navy) that felt pretty much the same. One thing you can notice in some of Novak's personal hoodies, shorts and pants is that he has those "mental, energy, positivity" symbols on the inside (that also appear in retail jackets):

On the outside logo is bigger, but apart from that everything is the same.
